Lipcolor composition

ABSTRACT

Lipcolor comprising a salt or hydroxide of di-or trivalent metal, a water-soluble alginate, a red or orange lake color having a COONa or COOK group, and an oil coponent having appearance of liquid at 20° C. The lipcolor less yields a dry feeling or an uneasy feeling with the passage of time, and its color comes off less in friction with foods and drinks.

This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 08/031,596, filed Mar. 15, 1993, pending.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a lipcolor composition, particularly a lipcolor composition which less yields a dry feeling and an uneasy feeling with the passage of time, and whose color comes off less in friction with foods, drinks and so on.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Lipcolors intrinsically function to make up lips, make a complexion better and make an expression brighter. Now, the increasing number of women have jobs and are working actively. Lipcolors play a very important role in makeup effects, compared to other makeup cosmetics, as a lipcolor alone can produce a bright expression even without a makeup base or other cosmetics. Accordingly, many working women tend to just arrange hair styles, pencil eyebrows and put on lipcolor. Then, busy women want to save time of fixing their lipcolor and are interested in durability of makeup effects more than ever. However, lipcolor compositions without an oil component and a coloring component were hardly conceivable from a point of view of satisfactory makeup effects and physical feelings. Accordingly, only limited means were allowed to enhance durability of the makeup effects. That is, most popular ways are to blend a large amount of a highly sticky or solid oil component or a coloring agent, or to blend a coloring substance having a dyeing property. There is a little elaborate method where a volatile component is blended and, upon its volatization, there remain only a powdery component, a solid oil component and a highly sticky oil component. Unfortunately, lipsticks produced in these methods are not durable to friction with foods, drinks and so on, loose their comfortable feeling of use and tend to discolor and cause a dry feeling with the passage of time. Thus, intrinsic functions of lipsticks are lost easily.

The present inventor proposed oily makeup cosmetics comprising divalent or trivalent metal or its salt or hydroxide, a water-soluble salt of alginic acid and an oil component (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Hei-1-96111). The oil components described there are olive oil, castor oil, jojoba oil, lanoline, vaseline, squalane, liquid paraffin, octyl dodecanol, glyceryl tri(caprylate/caprate) and silicone oil. The oily makeup cosmetics include a lipstick which comprises D.& C. Red No. 7 (C.I. No. 15850) (see the present specification, Comparison Example 4) and Aluminium lake of F.D.& C. Yellow No. 5 (C.I. No. 19140); candelilla wax, carnauba wax, vaseline, lanoline, octyl dodecanol and castor oil; calcium pantothenate, calcium lactate or calcium sulfate; and sodium alginate.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

A purpose of the invention is to provide a lipcolor composition which less yields a dry feeling and an uneasy feeling with the passage of time and whose color comes off less in friction with foods, drinks and so on.

The present invention is a lipcolor composition comprising (a) at least one metal compound selected from the group consisting of salts of divalent and trivalent metals and hydroxides of divalent and trivalent metals, and (b) a water-soluble salt of alginic acid, characterized in that the composition further comprises (c) at least one red or orange lake color having a COONa or COOK group in its structure and (d) an oil component having appearance of liquid at a temperature of 20° C.

EXAMPLES

In the Examples, the following evaluation item and method were adopted.

130 Female subjects were randomly grouped into 13 groups with each 10 members. Each group was provided with one out of 10 samples according to the invention and 3 samples for comparison. Each member puts her given lipcolor and, 2 hours later, ate Chinese foods which have a largest effect of removing lipcolor, and evaluated the lipcolor for its coming off.

Examples 1 to 10 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3

Solid lipcolors were prepared in a conventional manner using the components shown in Table 1 in the amounts shown in percent by weight. That is, components 1 through 14 were mixed and dissolved uniformly at 90° C., to which components 15 through 21 were added, kneaded and heat melted at 80° C. After deaeration, the mixture was poured in a mold and cooled to be shaped, and put into a receptacle to obtain a product lipcolor.

The results of the evaluation are as shown in Table 2, where the number of the people who answerd that the lipcolor did not come off is indicated. Nobody had a dry or uneasy feeling 2 hours after the lipcolor was put in the Examples or the Comparion Examples, either.
